Foods that you abhor

[DeeBye]

What are the foodstuffs you simply cannot stand?

Milk and bananas.

I like chocolate milk, but the plain stuff is gross. This is likely due to an event in my childhood. You see, I thought it would be neat to drink an entire bottle of shampoo (it had tempting pictures of fruit on the label). My mother called poison control, and they recommended that I drink as much milk as I could stand. My mother, being a mother, had me drinking nothing but milk for the entire day. I barfed many times, but that didn't stop her from force-feeding me milk. The good news is that I wasn't poisoned, but the bad news is that I detest milk.

I don't much care for bananas mainly due to the texture. It's all soft and mushy. Makes me gag. I like to be able to chew food, not mash it around with my tongue. Cooked squash is the same deal.

Other than that, I'll eat pretty much anything. I love all kinds of fruits and vegetables (preferably raw and crunchy). I've never met a meat I didn't like (not too keen on salmon, but I don't really hate it).

Now I am hungry.

A friend of mine used to make tomato sauce sandwiches in his youth. Seriously. :huh: Just two slices of bread and squirt sauce into it. :blink:

[DeeBye]

Mayonaisse disgusts me... the thought of it. And I like a few things with mayo INSIDE of them, but if someone's just slapping it on a sandwich and saying "here!"... ugh.

I LOVE mayonaisse! Real mayonaisse, mind you -- not that Miracle Whip crap. Sometimes I look for new and inventive ways to use mayonaisse. This saves me from just dipping a spoon in the jar and eating it plain, like pudding.

-A cheese and mayo sandwich is good. It's even better with grainy mustard.

-French fries are GODLY dipped in mayo.

-Hot pizza, topped with shredded lettuce (uncooked of course) and mayo is awesome.

-Hot dogs are made better with the addition of mayo.

-I don't know why, but chicken and mayo go great together.


The only thing I haven't tried, and would dearly love to, is to make my own mayonaisse. Does anyone have a fool-proof recipe?

Meat pies. New Zealand, Australia and Britain have this wonderous concoction that would be considered pig food where I'm from and amazingly people suck that stuff down like many others would, a hotdog.  You can buy them everywhere in NZ! 

Not alone in that one, WB. A Canuck staple, too; I've been avoiding them actively for 30+ years.

[Nicodemus Phaulkon]

Animal remains do not bother me. Bananas do. Strange world, huh?

We'll just keep Fox on THAT side of the room, methinks. Yup yup... for the best. ;)

What you do, see... is take a small bunch of sticky rice; roll it into a ball, and then wrap some dried, flattened seaweed around it, making the rice the bottom of a "cup", with the seaweed as the sides. Right: then you spoon in a HUGE amount of fish eggs. Salmon eggs to be precise; the roe are called "ikura" in this situation.



Now, hollow out a small dent in the top of the ikura, and now you gingerly, gently and lovingly crack open a raw Quail's egg and have it nestle right into that dent in the fish eggs.

Perfect!

Now then: pick it up with chopsticks and pop the whole thing in your mouth. Isn't that wonderful! You can feel all the mushy-crunchiness, mixed with the slipperiness of the Quail egg? Yeah! And the brine from the fish eggs adds JUST the right amount of saltiness! Normally this sort of piece would have been constructed from a Quail egg nestled in Tobiko, which is Flying Fish eggs... and much, MUCH smaller, but I prefer those BIG, HUGE POPS with all that salty brine inside. :D

How 'you doin'? Here, have a sip of the green tea. Shake it off... shake it off...

Now then... let's try the Uni! Uni is not something that everyone likes... sort of an "acquired taste". It's actually the sexual organs of a sea urchin, and has been best described as having the flavor of 3-week-old athletic socks!



*looks at Feryar's face*

Excellent... we're making progress... :D

Meat.

Vegetarian all the way. :D

I don't know what frightens me more about this thread, the foods people like to eat or the foods they don't. :o

I'd rather eat a sheep's eyeball than the orangy processed cheese on Cheetos and Doritos.

I'd rather eat urchin genetalia than cauliflower.

I'd rather eat caviar than those nasty green beans with that creamy almond-ish cream-of-mushroom-y gunk on them.

[jms]

Consider me frightened if 'sheep's eyeball' and 'urchin genetalia' could in any way be construed as foods you like to eat :huh:

Eating melted cheese as per Bob's description is the QUICKEST way to get sick ever. Avoiding hot dogs and most sushi are also high priority.

What's with all the banana hate??

[WarBlade]

No it isn't.

Avoiding hot dogs and most sushi are also high priority.

For you? Many westerners might agree on the sushi, but avoiding hot dogs? Weird. :huh:

What's with all the banana hate??

Two people disliked it. "All the banana hate"??? :huh:

[Feryar]

*eeeeek* :blink:



I think I'll reschedule my breakfast <_<

[Slasher]

Well Warblade, you think a sauce sandwich is bad? A friend of mine was given a 4 litre bottle of tomato sauce for his birthday. It was gone within 3 days. He drank it!

As for foods that I dislike, there are too many too list, but number one on the list is the Pluto Pup. Ever since I bought one and the sausage was green on the outside I cant even look at them anymore. :blink:

[Sickywicky]

-French fries are GODLY dipped in mayo.

Mayonaise is a standard with our fries here (Holland) although many abhor this. :ph34r:

I hate ketchup with my fries actually...
Sardines in tomato sauce and Oysters (It's just snot I tell you !!!)
Organ meat (allmost all, eating organs ruins my appetite)
The vegetables I hate couldn't be found in the dictionary since they are rather "exotic" but not here. It's dutch so some might wanna translate it. :) "Spruitjes,Witlof,Rooie Kool,Bietjes." The "Rooie Kool" made me puke when I was young so that is how it tastes to me :P and it's purply red "bietjes" are purply red too. "Witlof" and "Spruitjes" are extremely bitter.
Any candy with banana taste (like the real ones though) and licarice. For some reason I get sick when eating just one of those bastards. :huh:

I eat a lot of things though, as for sushi, haven't tried too many variants but what I tasted so far I loved. Especially the wasabi-paste (I like it hot). ^_^ But if I see an eye or something wrapped in seaweed I'd pass... I do know how to use a big japanese stick (Jo) but those chopsticks are still hard to master <_<

[Medicine Man]

Meat pies are merely OK... but a good Shepard's Pie is ideal. :)

[Destroy-Titus]

Ok first is first....I hate fast food (I believe that's a general, agreeable statement) I hate food that is too fancy (or too small to get full on, I know you know what I mean, just watch Iron Chef) and then I hate Kasha...kasha is some kind of wheat (I cant think of the english name) Kasha is the russian name (My whole family on my mom's side is russian so thus I have eaten and enjoyed [almost] every single russian dish ever created) I'm sure most of you have probably seen it at your supermarket, My mom's uncle eats it for breakfast every morning with sour cream...I nearly throw up at the near smell of it....Caviar is another one just pisses me off...it DOES NOT TASTE GOOD...it tastes (literally) like fish food, how would I know?

Well I have a fish tank...sometimes...you just wonder...and you try....you spend half an hour cleaning up your intestines (going out the frontside) ...but you end up liking your fish's luch better than caviar...I'm not even sure that I am spelling caviar correctly, but f*ck it, it's the food of the people I hate the most....rich people :ph34r:

[TPJ]

I'll never eat the following on purpose:

Green Peppers (I just don't like the taste)
Beef Tongue (uh, it's a tongue)
Tripe (a stomach? sorry, I'll pass)
Pigs Feet (read it again...)
Veal (once I found out what it really was, I just couldn't eat it)
Brussels Sprouts (does anyone like them?)
Fruit with hair (peaches, strawberries, kiwi)
Raw Tomatoes (the skin, the jelly, the seeds? Nope)

However, I'm not picky. :)


Edit: fruit <> vegetable

[Destroy-Titus]

Veal? "Oh Look at that one, It looks delicious!" -Eric Cartman at a veal ranch.

some of you people are extremely picky about your food...I like most foods, but that's off topic. Ive never had veal come to think about it...woof....on my way to the market as we type. What's a good veal recipe...oh nevermind, i'm on the internet.

[WarBlade]

Vegetables with hair (peaches, strawberries, kiwi)

Those are vegetables now? :blink:

Err . . . anyway . . .

Of your list I can only see peaches that would be a problem. Stawberries are hardly what I'd call "hairy" and while kiwifruit have a fuzzy exterior, this wouldn't be an issue as you scoop out the pulp with a tea spoon. :D

[Nicodemus Phaulkon]

I had this brief mental-movie of someone taking a Jo-Staff and slamming it down on a table, making the pieces of sushi bounce into the air; whereupon the someone then lunged forward to gulp down one of the airborne pieces...

...it could work. :ph34r:

One of my best acquaintances maintains a Vegan diet. I, however, tend to subscribe to the mantra "A meal isn't a meal without meat, but a meal with only meat is a fine meal".

I respect his reasons and decisions, but we don't tend to eat together overmuch. When visiting, I'll usually get up from a conversation and say "I'll be back in about 20 minutes" and go find a Wendy's restaurant... then come back for more conversation. I've found that most Vegans (and perhaps Vegetarians) become ill in the presence of someone eating meat, not just tasting meat themselves.

So, you work around it. *shrugs*
